Rescue Ink Unleashed

Rescue Ink Unleashed is a reality television series that premiered on September 25, 2009 on the National Geographic Channel. The series features a Long Island-based animal welfare organization, called Rescue Ink. The group is made up of heavily tattooed motorcycle riders who work to combat animal cruelty and rescue animals in need. The group states they use aggressive and "in-your-face" tactics, to put to shame and report abusive animal owners. The group takes action to remove distressed animals from their environments, taking them to no-kill shelters or rehabilitation facilities. They operate their own shelter in Long Beach, New York. The initial cast members went by the names Joe Panz, Big Ant, Johnny O, Eric, G, Angel, Junior, Robert and Batso, the 75-year-old eldest member of the group. In October 2012, they will launch the RISA Facebook application. RISA will allow animal abuse reports to be stored and displayed identifying locations most in need. The data will be used for awareness and prevention purposes against animal abuse. A statistical overview of geographical locations will be used to inform followers of the regions most in need. RISA was developed by Thoransoft a Montreal/Laval based software company.
